[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Broederbal:
Hi you mean you use the default recovery ?

from etotalk provided by etotalk ? not clockworkmod ? because you ment CWM

Btw i uploaded Clockworkmod allready, i downloaded it from droidwebspace.com

Here it is: 4shared.com/zip/D1ndo_Bc/LeWa_NEWMAN_N1_ROM_130125.html

If you didnt flash another recovery.. follow this so your able to backup your current, en replace the current with Clockworkmod

Download Mtkdroidtools, Flashtools, and USB Drivers yyou can download them from droidswebspace

for mtkdroid you have to google

droidwebspace.com/index.php/roms/74-cwmflash

First step, Install the drivers for the MT56xx in flash mode: use the provided information from droidwebspace

second open mtkdroidrools.. if you suceeded installing the drivers then it can reconize you phone now

in mtk droid root & boot tools i used v2.2.9

click on scatter from firmware info, save the file in the you downloaded flashtools map as for example

MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt now open flash tools dont use the provided information from

droidwebspace thats only for replacing the current with CWM.. you said you didnt want that ?

now load the scatter file you created with mtkdroidtools..

NOTE: im not gonne provide you a full tutorial how to use flashtool

Keep im mind it is for flashing you phone, or you can you can you use it to read back you current firmware from your phone!

You want to save your current recovery image so use the second tap (Read Back) Only! keep in mind if you use the download tab

you replacing your phones firmware.. so could be dangerous if you dont know wat your doing..

when loaded the scatterloading file, it could be it would recornize the file try to rename it or something

you will see in the download dialog it created your firmware sorted by begin and end adress

BUT, in the readback adress, to readback your current recovery you need a start en end length adress.. ;)

dont confuse it with eachother, you can simply press the add button in the readback tab, double click on it and, name it default-recovery.img or something like that

then it will ask you an start adress, you can copy the start adres of the recovery from the download tab

mine begon at 0x0000000001588000 end the SEC_RO underneath it begon at 0x0000000001B88000

By using a hex calculator, you can calculate the total length of your recovery image by using the start adress from the recovery

and start adress from the sec_ro underneath it,

i came out, the length of the recovery file was 0x0000000000600000

im guessing it will be the same for you!

But i have to say.. i ordered my N1 by etotalk too when i received it... the first thing what i did starting the phone was a factory reset

not in recovery mode... but in android itself.. and then i ended up with a big problem because the recovery didnt work

and the phone just kept rebooting :confused: so i was stuck for a while i dont know why, but wanted to install CWM and backup the phones original recovery witch was a bit stupid because it just didnt work ;) i couldnt start it by pressing the volume up and power

But anyways if you have the correct start adres, and length, enable the recovery with a cross so its selected as readback

then you press the "read back" button and again, make sure your phone is not allready connected, then you have to use the steps again as when you installed the drivers, your phone must be turned OFF!! Or remove battery connect it if USB driver installation starts again choose do not download from windows update and the download should go OK, a green circle with OK should appear. You can now disconnect your Phone

and if you suceeded the recovery image was saved..

i guess youve got root acces ? so if you still have etotalk tools you can either use etotalk tools or mobileuncle MTK tools

provided at google playstore, put your CWM recovery & Default wich you currently created on the root of your sd-card or local storage

then give the program you use root access, and your able to switch recovery images, by either those tools

btw i think i did wrote a full tutorial :) but anyway if wanne make sure your doing the right thing

Ask google ;) but if you use the read back function only.. then there could go nothing wrong except, you used the wrong begin adress and length :)

then, your saved the recovery file and does't work..

BTW: like i said when i received the phone and my recovery didnt work at all, so if your going to save your current, can i get a copy of it ? :)

AND sec. its easyer to just directly copy Clockworkmod to your sd-card and replace it, but then you can't go back to stock recovery..

I hope this helps, and i didnt misunderstood, your question :)
